Περίληψη
I am most pleased and honored to be here today in order to reflect with you on the work of Doris Salcedo.1 The exhibition here at the Harvard Art Museum includes a number of pieces that inhabit and transform the space of the museum. What is it that the museum houses when it exhibits the work of Doris Salcedo? (…) But it matters whether we are coming to see art or to mourn a set of losses, or to do both, whether we are practicing mourning at a distance, whether this is finally an exhibition, a counter-monumental memorial, or a testimonial. For the fact is that we wade through loss as we enter, watch, approach, discern the materials, stop ourselves from touching or sitting or treating them as if they were part of a living architecture or an object that carries over seamlessly into ordinary worlds. The exhibition includes the entry and exit of these living bodies who we are, the empty room, or the partially empty room, the spatial encounter with an arrangement of objects which once could have had a function in ordinary life and now no longer do, objects whose loss of function signifies the loss of a world, an inhabitable world.
